2013 Languedoc, France

13.5% ABV

Fabulous fruitiness from the Grenache, smooth spicyiness from the Syrah. And then some!

A complex blend of Syrah, Grenache, Carignan, Cinsault and Mourvèdre. Saturated and dark, the nose has buoyancy and a fine peppery lift, tight black fruit aromas lightened by that pepper and spice. In the mouth it is quite substantial. Undercurrents of liquorice with sweeter black berries, before a long plummy finish.
